R. v. Patrice Matata, Crim. Rev. 42-A-67; 16/9/67, Platt J.
In a previous action accused was sentence to five strokes of corporal punishment and placed on probation for 12 months. In the present action he was charged with failing to comply with the probation order.
Held: The purpose of probation is to release the prisoner without punishment where the court regards it expedient to do so taking into account the circumstances of the case and character of the accused. It is improper to impose a sentence in addition to an order of probation. The corporal punishment having been executed, the probation order was set aside, the present proceedings quashed and accused ordered to be set at liberty.
